Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJAMES HUBERT BRYAN HUTCHINSON Jim passed away peacefully on March 7, 2015 with his wife and daughters by his side. Jim was born in Winnipeg on September 14, 1954 to John Hubert and Joyce Hutchinson. He was the youngest of four children. He was predeceased by his father John Hubert, mother Joyce, brother Bill, and his uncle Basil Hutchinson. He is survived by his wife Norma, daughters Amanda and Kali, sister Dorothy (Fred), brother Bob (Shirley), sister-in-law Karen (Ralph), and six nephews Jeff (Sabina), Danny (Beth), Scott (Meredith), Ryan, Brent (Linz), Bryan (Jen), and mother-in-law Shirley. Jim was a dedicated husband and faithful father. Jim loved life and he loved to laugh. He just wanted to be with you no matter what you were doing. His faith in God was his foundation and it was evident everyday. Becoming part of the family at Springs Church transformed his life. Jim was always an entrepreneur at heart, it all started at the age of nine with selling pumpkins out of a wagon and continued on to owning and operating Jay Jay Janitorial Services, NAK Sales and La Procure IBA. He was a man of great integrity and was evident in everything from his business dealings to his friendships. He treasured all the friends and acquaintances he gathered throughout his life. He possessed a true joy and a smile that was constant no matter what life brought his way. Although he was sometimes a man of few words he had great depth and impacted many people. He had a generous spirit and was always willing to volunteer at Springs Church, Grant's Old Mill and helping out anyone in need. Jim loved the beach and ocean which was fulfilled by many family trips to Hawaii with his favourite girls. Summers were spent working on his 1965 Thunderbird, floating in the pool with his noodles and enjoying rounds of golf with his favourite buds. Jim always made time for his friends and family, weekly boy's nights at Silver Heights Restaurant, birthday parties, hospital visits and morning breakfasts. Although he is no longer with us, let us all be encouraged to continue his passion for life and people! A celebration of Jim's life will take place on Thursday, March 12 at 1:00 p.m. at Springs Church, 725 Lagimodiere Blvd. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Springs Inner City.

Hi Norma, Amanda & Kali, This is a belated note as we just got back home after a lengthy absence. We were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We know Amanda, especially, because of her relationship with our daughter, Sharenda Wiebe. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember, memories never expire. I'm sure all of you have many, many happy memories with your husband and father, Jim. May God in His infinite grace and mercy comfort your hearts at this very difficult time.

My sincere condolences to you, Norma, Kali and Amanda for the loss of such a wonderful husband and father! Jim was one of the nicest men I have ever known. He had such a wonderful sense of humour! As his hair person, we had so many wonderful chats over the last 30 years, about everything under the sun. So, aloha, my friend. I will miss you...... - Posted by: Sybil Kunce (friend) on: Mar 12, 2015

I was shocked to hear about Jim passing, we thought he was out of town when we never saw him or his vehicle. So sorry to his family for your loss, we never knew him long but he seemed like a very nice man. Way too young. - Posted by: edeena langan (neighbor) on: Mar 12, 2015

Wow! We are so sorry to hear the passing of a wonderful example of friendship. We have known Jim for a long time. He was a mainstay at Springs Church. He seemed to be always there with a big smile and a welcoming word. Memories. He has given us quite a few, and we will cherish them dearly. - Posted by: Ron & Kathy Owen (Friend) on: Mar 12, 2015

I only knew Jim through his daughter Kali. He was the center of her life and she loves him dearly. Kali shared small details of their personal lives with me, that made me feel that I knew him well also. My heartfelt sympathy to your family. - Posted by: Cyndy Erickson () on: Mar 11, 2015

We want to start by saying Jim was our brother from another mother! Most of us knew Jim for almost 30 years, except for Elaine who knew him as a young man. He would come into the grocery store at the courts of St James where she worked. The rest of us knew Jim from "the business club" which got together for our weekly lunch. After a few years the club dwindled down to to five women and Jim. It stayed like that for many years, and we had Halloween parties, Christmas parties, celebrated our 40s, 50s and 60s, kids, weddings and grandchildren. Jim even attended Joan's daughter's bridal shower, where the only other male there was the groom. For years it was the five women and Jim, we would meet weekly for lunch at Nikko's where poor Jim had to listen to us complain about everything from kids and relationships to menopause and hot flashes! He would help us decorate for every occasion from Christmas parties to baby showers and never once complained, probably because he couldn't get a word in most times. The one time he finally did he told us about a musical he was going to be in. Of course all of us attended to support him and even presented him roses after the show. We were so proud we now had an actor in our club, we used to always joke that if the club decided to have a slumber party Jim was safe, Norma knew she had nothing to worry about after all he was just "one of the girls". Jim was so good to all of us if we ever needed anything he would have it to you yesterday! The club had slowly scaled down to three women and Jim, he was still the president. Now we are like a table with three legs, we will not be the same without you Jim. We cannot even imagine how hard our next luncheon will be without you there, but know you will always be with us. You will forever be our club president! We are really going to miss you....love always Joan, Elaine, and Joan PS Norma, Amanda, and Kali, please accept our deepest sympathies. Love Joan, Gerry, Elaine, Joan and Rolly - Posted by: The business club (Friends forever) on: Mar 11, 2015

Norma, heartbreaking news to hear of Jim's death. He was always quick with a smile and quiet as he was, his love for you and the girls needed no words and shone through in spades. Vince and I are out of town but have you in our hearts. - Posted by: Cheryl Reid (Cousin) on: Mar 10, 2015

Had the opportunity to work for Jim many years ago delivering supplies to drug stores throughout the city. "Jimbo" had the ability to make everyone laugh and he enjoyed joking with store employees as we made our daily deliveries. It was no surprise they were always happy to see him. Thinking back, It was a great summer working for Jim and I am very saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to his wife and kids, Dorothy, Bob and families. Only the good die young. - Posted by: Randy Tustin (neighbour/friend) on: Mar 10, 2015

Jim was a true human being in all the positive senses of the word. Living in Toronto over the past number of years I didn't see as much of him as I would have liked, but I know my friendship with him did not diminish. I know he will be greatly missed by very many people. Norma, Amanda, Kali, Bob and Dorothy, please accept my most sincere condolences.

Jim has been a hard worker, dedicated family man, and inspiration to everyone that he meets. He is generous to a fault and always looked for ways to help those around whether they were close to him or total strangers. He will be dearly missed by friends, family, and the entire community that he touched. - Posted by: Len Westwood (Close Friend) on: Mar 10, 2015
